Tail attachment 1

Oldest had no school today so we had a great day at the airport. I managed to lend a lorry from work, solving the problem of transporting the stabilizer that would not fit into a car.








After a long day I was ready to go home, my son then asked if we could fly! There is only one answer to that!
We flew over our to be house, our groundwork should start in a few weeks.

Fairings done

Done with the fairings. Still having problem with the transponder configuration. It just sits there "updating"...

Transponder configurations and fairing adjustment

Started configuring the transponder, not working yet. Then I checked the clearance for the elevator-stabilizer fairing. Not enough on the right side. Decided to add another layer on the inside so that I can sand the outside some more tomorrow.

Finished the 35R wiring

and did the inside glass work on the fairings.

Lots done on the fairings and the transponder tray is installed

The transponder tray sits on a hinge at the panel. And the tray holder is screwed into two nut plates at the front. The large fairing has gotten an additional filling layer to be sanded tomorrow. The three smaller ones have now been set in place with epoxy from the outside. tomorrow I expect to attach them with epoxy and glass from the inside.

Fairings and transponder tray mount

Some pictures from the last evenings work. The fairings are about half way done, I have also started thinking about how to build a removable tray for the transponder.

More work on the tail fairings

Sorry for the lack of updates. My almost on the day 10 year old NAS-computer who first served me as a gaming PC for three years and then as a NAS for seven years (the last four in a dusty airplane factory) finally gave up, the motherboard died.

No information was lost but I have been unable to offload pictures from my cameras. I still cannot transfer many of the pictures since I forgot my GoPro in the aircraft after this Sundays flying. I performed several steps of the "first flight preparation training" on that flight.

Here are some pictures from today, my controler visited and we did a first review of the upcoming paperwork including having a detailed review of my building documentation.
